Ghana turns 68

Ghana marked its 6th Independence anniversary on March 6, 2025. The day was commemorated with a small event at the presidency, unlike previous years where grand parades were held for the celebration.

The government, before the event, explained that it was aimed at cutting costs and saving the country huge sums that would have been wasted on the event.

The "small" Independence Day event at the Presidency was attended by past and present state dignitaries including former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, former President John Agyekum Kuffour, etc.

Netizens celebrate Dr Amoakohene

Netizens who saw the video were impressed and congratulated Dr Amoakohene. Many praised his great sense of leadership and community service. Others were also not impressed and advised him to employ people to take care of such tasks, since that can be an avenue for creating jobs for people in his region.
